The prosecutor later states in court how the messages indicate Gill "received €5,000 plus $2,000 for himself on this occasion and that concurrent payments were made to two other MEPs."
No other former MEP has yet been charged.

Prosecutor Mark Heywood has today told the Old Bailey: "It is clear that he read from the script he had with him."

Gill sent a YouTube link to his speech to Voloshyn and wrote "V should be pleased by this".

He was then asked to "encourage other MEPs" to take a similar stance
Exclusive: Two of Nathan Gill's fellow Ukip/Brexit Party MEPs used the same pro-Russia talking points in European Parliament, after joining him on a paid-for trip to Kyiv

Watching the PPE contract scandal.

I do wonder if it will touch on a couple of things that I have never seen covered

If you have 10 mins, I don't think you will read a more powerful & insightful article about being born into & living inside a Cult. There are circa 17,000 households in this Cult, across the UK, Australia, Canada, USA and Europe.

It is difficult to comprehend, please read & share

There’s a HUGE Elon Musk shaped hole in the Government’s new plans to improve our elections: shady billionaires like Musk can still donate massive amounts of money with no cap: effectively buying our democracy. Add your name to call for a cap on donations today: you.38degrees.org.uk/petitions/ta...
Take Big Money Out of Our Politics
British politics is awash with money from super rich donors. In 2023, two-thirds of all private donations came from just 19 people. These so-called ‘mega donors’ enjoy privileged access to political p...

🧵In the UK there are approx 200 gospel hall trusts all owned and controlled by one man.

The Charity commission sees them as autonomous as they all have different trustees. Their failure is signing off the deeds, which show the one man can override any decision.

I read a really good story by @desmog.com and @unearthednews.bsky.social but realise they have used a lobbyist, whose ultimate boss has a vested interest in forcing government legislation changes for their financial gain.

I get that feeling of despair.

Imagine teaching at a school where none of the pupils will follow in your footsteps, become a Nurse, Firefighter, Doctor, Lawyer, Sportsperson, Politician or join the Police.

A school where the pupils will not attend Uni & the vast majority of female pupils will never reach their full potential.

Another court case relating to COVID contracts trundling along.

Govt cancelled £120 million contract. Now spending £450k on lawyers.

Interestingly the local MP David Davis visited the company delighted with the contract award at the time.

The amount of stories that have come out in the recent Australian Election and the involvement of the Plymouth Brethren aka Exclusive Brethren is off the scale, it would be a surprise if similar hasn't happened in the UK.

Imagine being scammed, left to struggle financially and then voting for the scammer to sort out your financial struggles. Yes, that will show them!

It takes a special kind of person to vote for the party, that created the predicament that you are unhappy about.
